Cross Restaurant in Brent

We recently visited Cross Restaurant in Wembley which is a cherished destination for authentic Goan cuisine, offering a homely atmosphere and dishes that transport diners straight to the coastal kitchens of Goa. The restaurant is renowned for its seafood thalis, particularly the king fish and prawn thalis. These meals come complete with fragrant rice, tangy curries, pickles, and a sweet dessert, providing a well-rounded and satisfying experience. Other standout dishes include prawns raechado masala, sorpotel, beef cutlet bread, and Goan pork sausages, all praised for their authentic flavors and generous portions. Cross Restaurant exudes a warm, family-run charm. The decor is simple, but the atmosphere is enriched by the friendly staff and the sounds of worship songs playing in the background. On Sundays, live music during lunchtime adds to the inviting environment. We thoroughly enjoyed the food we ordered and loved the friendly owners Raju and Trinda Labale.

It was delicious. Specially the shwarma and fish thali. I will come next time for sure.

Absolutely loved our visit to Cross Goan in Wembley! This hidden gem serves up truly authentic Goan cuisine that instantly took us back to the shores of Goa. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming—nothing too fancy, just a relaxed, homely vibe that lets the food do the talking. The menu has a fantastic selection of classic Goan dishes, and everything we tried was packed with flavour. The prawn Rachado was a standout—spicy, tangy, and cooked to perfection. The fish thali tasted like it came straight out of a traditional Goan kitchen. You can really tell they’re using authentic spices and cooking methods. Prices were more than reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes and quality of food. It’s definitely value for money, making it a great spot for both quick bites and sit-down dinners with friends or family. The staff were super friendly, attentive, and happy to explain the dishes to those less familiar with Goan food, which we really appreciated. Service was quick but not rushed, and everything came out hot and fresh. Cross Goan is now one of our go-to spots in Wembley—highly recommended for anyone craving real, soulful Goan food! We will be back very soon

Amazing shawarma by Chef Allan, Kudos to the high street restaurant at wembley central. A must try when you are around!!

Extremely tasty Shwarma wrap, Different to the usual wrap in terms of less is more, i.e., not an overwhelming portion. Fresh rich flavours with succulent chicken pieces that melt in the mouth, and a homemade sauce to die for.... and at £4.99, worth every penny. Service was friendly and efficient in a lovely, clean, and well maintained environment. I'll be back next week, put it that way. 👌🏼

First of all too hot in the resturant. Owner don’t want to put A/c . Fish thali. Curry no seasoning. Veg no seasoning. No fish piece in curry. No taste. Waste of money.

Excellent food and amazing staff !

Had heard about this place from a few people. Finally managed to explore it. Such warm people and lovely service. The food was delicious. My personal favourites - Ros Omelette and the prawns rechiado. The fish thali was good too. Each dish was bursting with flavours. I have received them on my instagram stories too @fooodzilla.

The food was great, especially with their spicy sauce. The hospitality aspect was also good. Well recommended by me.

Best goan authentic food and seafood paradise in london

Good tasty delicious food and generous portions, friendly polite and knowledgeable staff 😁

I had an amazing experience at Cross Restaurant! Everything was top-notch from the delicious food to the warm and attentive service. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. Every dish was cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.

It is amazing as I was waiting for the restaurant to re- open and food is amazing specially chicken shawarma

The best is not the word Beautiful environment lovely staff very friendly felt like home Thank you………………….,.,…,,,,,,

Lovely place to visit and lovely food..

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality, making our dining experience truly memorable. Delicious, Fresh & Authentic Food We had a variety of dishes, and each one exceeded our expectations: Chicken Shawarma – Prepared by Allen, this was hands down one of the best shawarmas we’ve ever had! The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the special garlic sauce took it to another level. Absolutely delicious! Prawns Masala with Recheado Sauce – This was a revelation! The tangy, spicy Goan Recheado sauce complemented the prawns beautifully, making it one of our favorites. Kingfish Thali & Tilapia Fish Thali – A must-try for seafood lovers! The fish was fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The thali came with all the traditional sides, making it a wholesome and satisfying meal.

Great experience! Food was very authentic and service was brilliant. Owner came and shared his story. Overall very good.

Lovely ambience, delicious prawns. Good thali. Excellent service.

Foods is really good. Must visit - Alan makes the best Shawarma at Cross!

I recently watched youtube video about your restaurant and was so intrigued that my girlfriend and I decided to visit the very next day. I live near Silverstone-Towcester, and she lives in Oxfordshire, so it was quite a drive, but we were hoping it would be worth it. We were absolutely not disappointed! The food was amazing – fresh, not oily, and we didn't feel bloated after enjoying the thali. What's more, the prices are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend that you consider increasing your prices by a couple of pounds to reflect the quality of your food. As someone of Indian heritage, I highly recommend your restaurant. Raju, your wife, and your daughter were all wonderful. Good Luck Vish and Olwen

I visited the restaurant with my family for lunch and tried the prawn, pomfret, and kingfish thali, which was exceptionally tasty. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was tranquil. It offered a slice of Goa right in London! I would definitely recommend it.

Shawarma is a must try here, All the food tried here was worth it & yum, want to try some authentic goan food then Cross restaurant it is!!!

This place is very excellent. The service and cleanliness is amazing. Very friendly staff. Whatsoever food is very reasonable. God bless.

Well before going I had said to my friends that we are going to be disappointed as most Goan restaurants are bad.....but no......I was pleasantly surprised!!!! The greeting from the owner was warm and we sat away from the door because of the breeze when people opened it. Starters were cooked fresh and were very good - for us we had the Beef patties and Beef croquettes. Served on a paper plate which is not the best for the guest but great for tidying and clearing quickly. The main meals were finger-licking look especially the Prawn Vindaloo curry - oh my, I kept searching the bowl for every last drop. It is a family restaurant with the focus on the guests. We introduced ourselves at the end so we wouldn't draw any attention that we were famous Goan Djs from London and they invited us back on Sundays were they not only serve food - they have a one-man band and a jamming session! Will be back for sure and they have made it easier as they are open to early hours of the morning every day!

Newly opened Goa restaurant Plz do visit Near heart of wembley Authentic goan food Reasonable price n friendly family

NEWLY reOPENED restaurant in 2025. The taste and the flavours of the Goan food were authentic. We usually used to order from Cross restaurant before. Now we have seen its been reopened we are happy to have it back and more over the they didnt compromise on authentic taste and flavours of the food. Proper restaurant set up is so good and comfortable for a group of friends or family which can dine in anytime. Apart from the cooking smell of kitchen around the restaurant. Rest everything is perfect.

This is an outstanding restaurant in Wembley which has its typical food and services like in Goa. You will think that you are in Goa. The different sea food is so delicious 😋 and mouth 👄 that you will feel like going again and again. Keep it up dear and I will see you there soon.

We had been to the cross restaurant which is newly open again we loved the atmosphere,there service given and they were also humble people we tried the Prawn Tali it was very tasty.Please do give a try for there Tali.

Amazing food 😋😋… Must try their authentic Goan fish thali it’s really delicious..

The food here is excellent! It was by pure chance I visited on their first day at the new location and they did not disappoint! Every dish I’ve had was just how I’d expect it to have back in Goa.. cannot recommend the beef croquettes enough! So so good! The fish was perfectly fried, way better than fancy restaurants I’ve eaten at.

First time I have tried fish and it was amazing, fresh fast and very tasty… will be back!

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

Love the food and the kind hospitality here. It's absolutely worth it.

Food was amazing. Authentic Goan food. Will definitely visit again.

Traveled to Wembley for a day out, and when we were wandering around we stumbled upon this jewel. A place that truly captivates the pure taste of Goan cuisine and at very affordable prices. We were served wonderfully by the young girl that looks after the front of house, she was very attentive, polite and very courteous to all our requests and always smiling. We ordered the beef cutlet bread, biryani rice, sorpatel and goan pork sausages. the flavour was impeccable and every bite reminded of us Goa and it was authentic. The portions were decent (please note some of the photos were taken, after we served ourselves). I believe at one point we were greeted by the owner when he served us at our table and that was a nice touch. They also had some great live music, by a one man band. Super glad we walked into this restaurant, we'll definitely be back for more.

The most comforting restaurant. From the food to the staff everything about this place is awesome. You will always be welcomed here as this restaurant in its own unique way worships and prays to God. It offers more than just good. There is always worship songs playing in the background. The best part is their service towards the homeless people.

This restaurant offers a mixed dining experience that has both its highlights and low points. Let's start with the positives. The food at Cross restaurant is undeniably delicious. Every dish is freshly prepared to order, and the thali, in particular, is noteworthy. The flavors are authentic and satisfying, cooked by Goan women on the spot, making it a go-to spot for those seeking a taste of India. However, the glaring issue lies in the service. It's disappointingly slow, and this can significantly detract from the overall dining experience. While freshly made food is appreciated, the extended wait times can test one's patience. On a brighter note, they have live music on Sundays during lunchtime, creating a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. This is a delightful addition that enhances the dining experience and adds a touch of charm to the visit.

Best place for goan food & snacks...😋

Amazing yum yum food. The people are the best!! Love them!! Ambience is great, just like the kingfish thali

Had tried their chicken lollipop and crochet, was very delicious, loved it, their cutlet bread was nice and crispy tasted awesome! Friendly staff. Loved it.

Today I along with my wife and my kids visited for lunch at Cross Restaurant, we ordered specially the Goan thali , and prawns Rava fry , my kids too loved the food as we did . The food is prepared freshly once you place the orders . I recommend this place one should try if you’ll around Wembley or should make a plan to be there . And the rates are very reasonable too .

Best Goan food and good hospitality in UK. One of the best place to host programs and very efficient team for catering your needs.

I ordered the king fish and prawn thali from this restaurant and I was very satisfied with the quality and quantity of the food. The fish was fresh and well-cooked, the prawns were juicy and spicy, and the rice and curry were flavorful and filling. The thali also came with a salad, pickle, and dessert, which made it a complete meal. The only downside was that the drinks were not up to the mark. I had a lemonade that was too watery and very diluted. Falooda was too sweet and artificial for my liking. I would suggest that they improve their drinks menu or offer more options for beverages. Overall, I would recommend this place for anyone who loves seafood and wants to try a thali, but not for the drinks.

This restaurant is badly underrated, Super tasty food, good ambience and affordable price. Highly recommended.

A possibly unique place in London. Quality authentic cuisine served with heart. The decor is simple but the service and food are gold. This restaurant has a well earned reputation for generosity and helping those less furtunate.

Great home cooked style menu. It is a family run place. The taste is very very good and easy on the stomach. Highly recommended, if you are looking for a simple yet tasty menu. The owners greet everyone with smile and are very friendly people. Only downside being, the waiting time is high, service takes sometime as the dishes need to be prepared one by one. Must visit

Amazing food - if you fancy somewhere to meet and relax with great food , service ( and aircon!) before a gig this is the place

Very kind behaviour and good environment and best food i have eaten

I visit this place with my family and friends occasionally for a Goan cousin and it’s one of the best place I have visited in terms of taste. Owner are also very down to earth and customer centric. Sometimes orders do take time to be served so I would recommend pre ordering over the phone before visiting the restaurant. Also confirm the availability since I think they allow to use space for religious and other activities.

Great Resturant, Great atmosphere! Great people and Great food! Really looked after us and made us feel at home! Not like your other Resturants ,there really is a family feel in this Resturant which you won't get at any other Resturant! God bless you! Jesus Loves you!

Excellent place for authentic goan cuisine. Raju and the team are fantastic people. If you love Goa and it's food, you have to visit this place. Limited menu which means consistency is always high. Thank you for the wonderful experience team Cross Restaurant and keep it up.

Superb hospitality. Fish Thali a must try. Very noble staff

Lovely Goan homemade tasty food. Staff is lovely and perfect Home meal away from home

The hospitality and food is always commendable. Extremely clean and tidy..every request taken care and ensure best customer services. Food is delicious specially non veg thalis

Food is amazing. No doubt Iam coming back for more. Thali was great and the briyani was amazing

Had been here for dinner today, ordered King fish thali and chicken bryani, really good and delicious food above all very affordable. Recommend you all to visit it if you love fish curry rice. The owners are welcoming and very kind. Can’t wait to visit again.

Really enjoyed our lunch today. Cosy atmosphere and friendly owners.

Very welcoming and humble place at wembley. Truly they are dedicated towards helping the needy. The food is truly blessed and tastes yummy !!! Very authentic goan food. Must try their food if u visit wembley . Loved listening to christian music while having lunch !!! God bless your hands and your team !!!!

A must visit restaurant for a true Goan thali. The quality of all the fish was excellent. As fresh as you'd want it to be. The thali is reasonably balanced with pickle, kismur, a veg, sheera and the curry. And a generous piece of rawa fried fish of your choice. Areas for improvement would be the general hygiene level specially the toilets. But the quality of the food far outweighs this small issue. Will surely visit again.

Paid £51 for 2 king fish thali a plate of prawns reachado and 2 sweet lime soda. The food was alright and the ambiance was not the best but what I’m not happy about is paying that much for 2 people. No price was mentioned before getting the thali since they serve different size of the fish. For the price paid I could have gone to a better restaurant and had a better meal. Before people go all crazy please look at the size of the king fish. Please work out a better pricing than mentioning everywhere that 20% of this goes to charity.

Visited cross restaurant. Excellent food and professional and courteous service and staff. Must visit again....

I asked Cross Restaurant to cater for my mums wake. The food was delicious. Authentic goan food. All the guest commented on how nice the food was. All the guest personally wanted to take their contacts details for future reference. It really made the wake more memorable. The service Trinda provided was excellent. Easy, smooth and reliable. Thank you Trinda.

The food an the personal touch to service is a warm feeling

Excellent service and food.Thanks

Great Goan restaurant in Wembley serving traditional Goan foods.. homely ambience, nothing fancy…. but food is awesome - we ordered Prawns Thali, Prawn masala and a plate of rawa fried Queen fish - service was very friendly, prices was very reasonable.. they also sell a small selection traditional Goan masalas like recheado.. will go back

Lovely authentic goan fish thali.. highly recommended. Its a very homely place with hospitality that matches the tasty food. And the prices are very reasonable..

Amazing food.Exellent service and atmosphere

Best service and friendly staff.I Would highly recommended.Thanks

Delicious food at great prices and wonderful service. Highly recommended!

When I moved to uk I went around searching for Goan thali. Trust me I would say this the best amongst the rest in London so far

Amazing food and exceptional service :) Lucky to find this restaurant in a place like UK. Will be coming back for sure next time. We would highly recommend for all fish lovers out there. Must visit 💯 Assal Goan Food ❤️👌

Amazing Goan Food with Exceptional service from Trisha💯 Would highly recommend this place. Must visit if you’re a fish lover❤️

Great service and delicious food

Fish thalai was really good. Will visit again.

It was our first time having Goan food and we were so impressed! Their queen fish and prawns were fried perfectly, their dessert wasn't too sweet, the restaurant was clean, and most of all, they were really friendly! We're definitely coming back to try more new dishes 😋

Lovely goan food wished the quantity was more as I missed the food so much but it is sufficient to the price yummy and friendly staff visited on 21/08/22

Had been with my family. Had fish thali,it was good,shall visit again.

Food taste could have been better.

One of the best places to eat authentic Goan food. Seems like a family run business as I spoke to their amazing host Trisha and apparently the food are her gran's recipes !!! The food is simply delicious and freshly made... What I'd call "Food for the Soul" . I have not met such friendly nice owners who always make me feel welcome and even take orders on phone before we reach here which makes the experience so nice ...that I keep coming back ... I would highly recommend if you like Goan food. Top pick beef cutlet roll and king fish thali :).... I'll be back !!!

Everything is just so fine. Be it food quality to quantity. Plus staff is also friendly and down to earth. My default place to fulfill my chicken and seafood craving. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Goan fish Thali is awesome will definitely visit again thank you 😊

A great family owned restaurant with authentic and delicious food. You get a great portion for the price and everything I've tried has been wonderful. I highly recommend stopping by this little gem!

Authentic goan food. Nice , clean place. Kingfish Thali must try

Travelled from quite far to come to this place but it was totally worth the trek. After reading the reviews, I came with high expectations on the food and was not disappointed. I’d highly recommend the fish dishes/thalis. The preparation is really something special. I left feeling fully satisfied, like one would after a home cooked meal. It’s a very homely place with hospitality that matches the tasty food. One will struggle to find such a place in London, and the prices are very reasonable too, actually underpriced for a change.

The food is awesome and the feel of the place is like home... The best of all is that very friendly and honestly can go on and on but would like you all to try and feel the experience and special touch

I would highly recommend this place for authentic Goan food. I had king fish thali and prawns raechado masala. Both dishes were full of flavour, delicious and reminded me of Goa. Restaurant is closed on Sat and Tue. Sat closure is odd but it is what it is. Easily accessible by tube and bus. Opens from 11 am to 10 pm. I will go there again next time I am in Wembley. The service was good too and the staff were polite. Priced are reasonable too and does not burn a hole in the pocket. If only I have to critic, the fish could be slightly spicy but its a personal opinion I like hot and spicy food.

Absolutely amazing chicken Biriyani! Soft and succulent chicken, perfect spice, authentically Indian! Lovely waitress, great service. . Definitely coming back.

best indian restaurant in london, authentic food and not pre made and hospitality is exeptional. must check it out will not disappoint!

Kingfish Thali and ask nothing more

Best food ever! Had a family party! I must say the ambience and the staff was amazing and overall the food is beyond any rating.. I wish I could give them 10 stars.. taste was superb! God bless them! Definitely should try for sure.

Super good food, friendly staff and peaceful ambiance. Definitely visit this place if you like Goan food.

Yes, I n my wife loved their fresh food, it's very tasty

Amazing Indian (Goan) cuisine restaurant. Loved the food and people. Take a bit longer than regular restaurant to get your food but it's worth the wait.

we came here with out doing any researchers. We travel from central London for outlet. It is very convenient for food here. Can get a seat with out booking. We loves the food here and our favourite dish is Kingfish Thali with Masala chai Tea. Good food , good price and friendly staff here. We will come back here again.

Lovely place, tasty food and very friendly service. Loved it. Will go again.
